Ingredients

• 600 grams Potatoes
• 2 medium Onions
• 200 grams Cheddar cheese
• 50 grams Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 2mm or 1/16-inch thick). A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices.

Step 2

Peel the onions and slice them thinly into rings or half-rings.

Step 3

Grate the Cheddar cheese and set it aside.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and become translucent. Remove the onions from the pan and set them aside.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 7

Layer the ingredients in the skillet: start with a layer of potatoes, slightly overlapping each slice, followed by a layer of cooked onions, a light sprinkle of grated cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the lid or foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the Pan Haggerty rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Slice into wedges and serve hot as a side dish or a vegetarian main.
